Alvarez returning to Kirbyville

Brandon Alvarez, the son of former Kirbvyville coach Jack Alvarez, is returning to the school as defensive ends coach.

Alvarez played football for Kirbyville and graduated in 2006.

He coached at Buna last season.

Greg Neece, the new Kirbyville head football coach and athletic director, also hired another assistant from Buna, Brady McMillan, at Tuesday night’s board meeting.
McMillan will coach the defensive tackles and also be the pitching coach in baseball.

Jack Alvarez coached at Kirbyville for 11 seasons and reached two state title games before leaving for Class 4A Ennis in February. Neece, the offensive coordinator under Alvarez the last three seasons, replaced him as head coach in March.
